bond st, utah johnny's, woodwork, & weather up

whew! the weekend felt like a whirlwind of activities. we got 2 feet of snow on friday so i was suppose to work from home but somehow made my way to the city only to be turned around  for home. this gave me a chance to take sf to the park and we had a grand time. she's now much more familiar with the snow so she's a lot more willing to get into it without me. i totally forgot my phone and camera so i don't have any evidence but sf was chasing after snow balls! she slept for 48 hours straight after we got home from all the fun w/ the snow. even when we walk, she likes to lick and eat it.


this past weekend was also the last weekend of winter restaurant week so r.b. and i hit bond st for some sushi. this is the first time i made a 10:30pm reservation. ever. only in ny. i think my friends in texas would have eaten their left arm if they had to wait until 10:30 to eat. heck, i almost ate my left arm! but it was so wort it because i had a very nice, leisurely, delicious dinner with some great company.


i also celebrated texas independence day along w/ the ny texas exes at utah johnny's. as you can see from their website, they have a mechanical bull right smack in the middle of the restaurant/bar. i think this may have been the place that the girls from sex and the city went to where miranda stripped off her shirt. i think it may have been every girl's goal to simulate what it would look like to have sex with them when they were on the bull. it was hilarious. i had such a great time w/ my new friends and laughed so much. it's a talent to be great story teller and i've been very lucky in my life to be surrounded by a few of them.

i left there to meet up w/ a.s to see some show in brooklyn, but alas, the show we tried to get to at market hotel was sold out. so we headed back to prospect heights to do some bar hopping closer to our hood. we hit woodwork first because a.s. wanted to scope it out for future soccer games (d.g.! you would be so proud). the guys behind the bar were very attentive so we had some good wine and snacks while we were there. very good prices too. the next and last bar we hit was weather up. this place is owned by the same guy that owns milk + honey and the varnish, the bar s.c. and i went to in l.a. ever since i had their vodka bramble, i've wanted it again so it's awesome that i can find it so close and cheaper too! can't beat that!
